I just had to come on here to thank you all for the good job you are doing. So traveling to the US for vacation was one of my goals for the year, on the 29th of January I decided to give it a shot by applying for a B1/B2 visa. My interview was today, here's a transcript of my interview.
VO: Good morning
ME: Good morning
VO: Please hold on I'm typing something
ME: No problem(in yankee accent o )
VO: I'll have to take your finger prints. Could you please place your fingers on the machine
ME: Left or right ?
VO: Right first
Me: *placing fingers* 4 fingers right ?
VO: Yes
VO: Your right
VO: Now both thumbs (looks at his computer)
VO: So why are you going to the US
Me: ( serious face ) I'm going on a vacation
VO: Where in the US are you going to ?
Me: I'm going to Los Angeles California
VO; ( was in the process of saying something )
Me: ( in my mind to the VO *shut up I'm still talking* )
Me; And I'll be going to **** (a bbal team stadium) in **** (another city in CA) (to watch a bball game btw the *** vs the ***.
VO; Wow really ? ( he really showed interest)
Me: Yes
VO: Haven't they been the *** in the league this season ? ( smiling and being friendly )
Me: Yes (smiling)
VO: But how can you get a ticket for such a game ? it's going to be very expensive !
Me: (Taa keep quiet there) I have the **** app on my phone to purchase tickets. The tickets are still available for $***
VO Starts typing very fast ) So what do you do for work ?
Me: I own my own business, I'm into the production and sales of home and office **** and also into the sales and installation of ***
VO: ( Kept typing ) So you make and sell your own *** ?
Me: Yes I do
VO: What of the *** ( the stuff I sell and install ) do you import or what ?
Me: ( I don read nairaland, import ko import ni ) No, I buy LOCALLY at MUSHIN market ( I bet people must have looked at my direction cos of how I shouted the MUSHIN)
VO; ( Still typing ) Ooh ok .. ( still in a friendly manner ) So you know I used to be into building in the past .. How much do you sell yours per square meter ?
Me: Cost price or with profit ?
VO: I mean with profit
Me: **** naira
VO; Without profit ?
Me: **** naira
At this point he was still typing, smiling and being friendly
VO: Oooh that's good, it's cool
Me: ( talk fast lemme know )
Vo: ( grabs slip still smiling) But seriously those tickets are going to be expensive or not available.
Me: Yeah, the price keeps rising so the sooner I buy the better.
Vo: True true true ... congratulations ..... ( at that moment I went partially deaf and kept nodding my head while he kept talking, I regained hearing when I stretched for my passport and he said ) no we have to issue your visa on your passport, you are to pick up your passport in ( went deaf again and kept nodding, passes slip)
Me: Thanks ( and was about leaving)
VO: (really smiling ) So which is your team ?
Me: ( also smiling ) I mentioned the host bball team best player's name in a loud voice ) that's who I want to see !!
VO: yeah yeah yeah ..
Me: Bounced away with full swag in my native attire.


Sight and Sounds

Men, they denied people oo. There was this couple that said they were going for their honeymoon. Guess they said they got married last year, they both seem to have good jobs, well dressed and good appearance. The VO was questioning them laughing with them and typing, they were all laughing. I was like these ones don collect white slip, oh boy, in the midst of their laughter the VO just brought out blue slip, the husband just quickly put the blue slip in his file as the smile faded. It shook us and people around me started murmuring "these ppl are not giving today o" There was this woman and like her 5 or 6 year old daughter, when the VO said I'm sorry blah blah and gave the mom the blue slip her cute daughter started shouting "mommy what are we going to do now, mommy what are we going to do" people just started laughing, the mom didn't even answer her and they kept walking while she kept asking.
So I read some people advised applicants on here not to mention the word "conference". A young boy did, he defended himself, he was given.
There was this family of 4, dad, mom and two young boys maybe 6 and 8 year old. Immediately they approached the VO he greeted all of them, they smiled and surprisingly he started interviewing the kids like "hey, how are you" boy said fiiiiine VO then said " who's this man to you " the boy said "daddy" VO then pointed to their mom and asked kid again "that's your sister, right ?" Kid said noooooo that's my mommy. They all smiled and defended themselves, they got their visas.
I got my motivation through this forum to be honest though a lot of people around my circle visit the US regularly. I went there, told the truth and was given. You just have to be confident and have an interaction with the VO, let he/she know you are not there for BS. Oooh I almost forgot, I'm a first time applicant, no travel history, passport even expires in few months and also single and searching . While they were dishing out blue slips I kept smiling and telling myself "dude, you are sharp, the VO can't intimidate you, you ain't broke, talk with confidence"
Please o, the nobel lauretes here aka English professors, this is not an essay, it's a donation so please don't criticize my write up for lack of proper punctuation.
Already bought my return ticket sharp today and paid for my hotel accommodation, this dollar thing is crazy will be touring for 3 weeks. Good luck to future applicants.

I'm going going going back back to Cali Cali .. Singing

GentleOhimai:
@Justwise,
I am really grateful for the good work you have been doing. I know there are threads regarding the USA visa thing but I opened this because I haven't really gotten the answer I need.

My fiancee and I will like to get a visit visa to USA to do some shopping for our upcoming wedding. We have a daughter already who is in primary school but she isn't going along. When I meet an agent, the price I was given was N700,000 for a week visit which includes hotel booking and visa but to me it's really looking on the very high side.

I got a website were we can do the application ourselves and the visa fee payable to GT Bank was N31,200 each.

Please sir, my question to you or anyone with good knowledge of this is that:

1. As we are not yet married and are planning to, will our wedding invitation card be helpful when we have successfully booked an interview?

2. Would the fact that we already have a daughter bearing my surname though not going with us give them enough reason to believe we intend to still return after our visit?

3. My dad was down with stroke and ever since then I have been the one taking care of his finances. He is a pensioner getting over N500,000 monthly and I haven't been working because I run his account and affairs for him and so he put me on a monthly pay of N200,000 just so I am always around him. Please will his statement of account be enough proof that I am capable of taking care of my trip with his consent being that I have to use his statement of account?

I really need your advice on the best possible way to go about this in order to successfully secure a visa to USA. I will also be glad if you can inform me of any other documents you feel will help me achieve this successfully.

Thank you.

Good morning house

to the contributors, thank you for the great work here.

I need your help oooo.
hubby and I decided to do the US b1/b2 visa one.

My husband without telling me, mistakenly booked appointment before filling the DS 160 form. thus, the codes ( or confirmation thingy) differ.
I seek your sound counsel on way forward. though, we had sent a mail to lagos NIV @state.gov and all the email addresses for issues regarding non immigrant visa. we are yet to hear from them.

Im an avid reader of the US thread and honestly, dont want to go over it backwards. as i type now, im in the court room. Pls, direct me. tnks.
cc: Lady G, Chloe, seyewest, & Justwise ( thank God i saw your post where you said you don't respond to PM, that's why i sharperly pasted here)

ibrocoast:
I have submitted my application yesterday. How long is it going to take to get ma interview date option so that i could schedule ma appointment.

Damolaskynov:
Hi Lady G,Chloe and all other alumni of this visit visa thread. My aunt is inviting me over for holiday in June and I want to start processing now that the fee is still 195 to 1 USD. I will be 34 by Feb 24,single and work as a Supervisor with DHL Aviation. Was in Dubai for 5 days last month during the shopping festival.
Is it too early to start the process? Read through earlier thread and it seems being single is usually a red flag...My salary is ok even after tax. Please advise

chloe7:
Please o please ehn if anyone has an idea of any flight sales to Atlanta abeg let us know on this forum because the quotes i'm getting is crazy 400k plus

schweinsteiger:

emjayfay:
After days of going on a rigmarole, I got some today at Stanbic IBTC!

chloe7:
oh no please stop dishing out these type of informations, basically the v.o's don't check but we have heard cases where they check every documents a person took there including hotel reservation, you are meant to advice people to be on a safe side and not this type of half cooked advice, it won't hurt if he books the hotel and cancels after everything but let him go to the interview over prepared than under prepared abeg

presido07:
@OP can u advise me I have a B1B2 visa can I get a job on getting to u.s

chuckdee13:

chuckdee13:
Hello all
All the hotel booking sites I've seen always request for credit card info before the room can be reserved...am I doing something wrong or visiting the wrong sites?
Thx for ur contributions

nefertitiram:
Does anyone have experience with booking appointment for a group? Do they get interviewed together or what?

schweinsteiger:
Jisos.. where can i get the gtbank receipt.. lol

schweinsteiger:
NL Fam...
After been scammed or not entirely scammed, i finished all the online ds 160 form filling + Visa Payment via online because i use Gtbank, so everything was relatively easy with house help off course, so when i got to appointment booking on 6th feb, i saw tons of available dates on same febuary, even 10th feb, i was surprised, was thinking available dates will be like a month or two ... Anyways, i haven't printed anything & my interview is month end.. Is the Confirmation Page
compulsory to print? must i go with it? my Hotel Reservation is a week even if i fill in 21 days, because i think would like to change hotel , hope no problem in that area? Again , must i book a flight with a return ticket? Thanks in Advance
